5. A molecule of Co(CN)3(CI)3 exists as both a fac- and mer- isomer which both exhibit unique properties such as color and melting point. а. Draw the lewis structures for both the mer- and fac-isomers of Co(CN)3(CI)3 and label. Additionally identify and label if each structure is either achiral or chiral. b. Identify the point group of each isomer Fac= Mer= c. Identify ALL of the symmetry elements present in each isomer. (if there are multiple occurrences of a single symmetry element, identify how many of each type are present.) Fac= Mer=
